[15:47] parsifal ^Nothing more needs to be said, the name speaks for itself <--- !! ● Sep 29 [16:01] parsifal One more thing. About Lunduke: I have mixed feelings about Lunduke. While he was once dead set against AI, he is now enthusiastic about its potential in the development of his own distribution, LCOS. [16:02] parsifal In short, there are quite a few things I agree with him on, yet just as many where our views diverge radically. [16:03] *x-amarsh04 has quit (Quit: Konversation terminated!)

[18:24] parsifal ^If its not a secret, of course. I know more or less who he has worked for over the years, but I don't know of anyone guiding him; rather, he speaks his mind, infuriating quite a few people along his path of self-expression. [18:34] schestowitz[TR2] i wrote about it [18:34] schestowitz[TR2] but in a nutshell [18:34] schestowitz[TR2] MS Lunduke be like [18:34] schestowitz[TR2] oh, some TR people say LF sucks [18:34] schestowitz[TR2] I will say LF sucks [18:34] schestowitz[TR2] but make it about abortions and vaccines [18:34] schestowitz[TR2] re Rust [18:34] schestowitz[TR2] will maake it about "furries" [18:35] schestowitz[TR2] re slop [18:35] schestowitz[TR2] will say itt sucks, then say it's OK, "i was wrong" [18:35] schestowitz[TR2] he's a sponge of criticisms [18:35] schestowitz[TR2] and muddy the water [18:35] schestowitz[TR2] *waters [18:35] schestowitz[TR2] same re EFF, Mozilla [18:35] schestowitz[TR2] then nobodyy wants to talk about the issues ● Sep 29 [19:04] parsifal schestowitz[TR2]: As far as I gather from your explanation, you mean hes a flip-flopper -> saying one thing one moment and something else the next, a two-faced hypocrite, but that doesn't mean hes being manipulated or steered by anyone; hes just a relative of Janus. He also never hid the fact that he worked for the M$, but that doesn't mean hes under their control. [19:04] parsifal ^I leave it to everyone to judge for themselves whether shifting with the wind and changing ones mind ten times a day is a good thing or not; however, this does not make a person manipulated, but rather directionless and inconsistent. [19:05] parsifal Nate Graham is worked for the gnawed ones -> so what? Now hes on our side and helping create great software, even if there has been some "slight" turbulence with AI lately... [19:11] schestowitz[TR2] thatb too [19:11] schestowitz[TR2] tre flip-flopper [19:12] schestowitz[TR2] Nate Graham is another matter [19:12] schestowitz[TR2] i never spoke to lunduke or Nate Graham [19:12] schestowitz[TR2] Nate Graham seems like an OK person [19:12] schestowitz[TR2] rianne trusts him also [19:12] schestowitz[TR2] but [19:12] schestowitz[TR2] he f*ed up with j. riddell [19:12] schestowitz[TR2] so we are suspicious of Nate Graham [19:39] parsifal schestowitz[TR2]: -> I don't know what advice to give regarding these concerns, other than... [19:39] parsifal Have faith in the good in people -> have faith, and youll breathe easier :P Dont be suspicious of everything and everyone ;) [19:53] schestowitz[TR2] he works for valve [19:54] schestowitz[TR2] via techpaladin [19:54] schestowitz[TR2] they are DRM company [19:54] schestowitz[TR2] suspicious is a negative term [19:54] schestowitz[TR2] let's aay, [19:54] schestowitz[TR2] apprehensive ● Sep 29 [20:04] *XFaCE_ has quit (Quit: Retiring completely for now ("Automatic for the people, thanks for all the fish")) [20:18] *asacengyet_ has quit (Quit: ZNC 1.9.1+deb2+deb13u1 - https://znc.in) ● Sep 29 [22:00] schestowitz[TR2] " [22:00] schestowitz[TR2] Make our actions even more visible to the AC [22:00] schestowitz[TR2] Dear SUEPO members, [22:00] schestowitz[TR2] Our industrial action has now continued for almost nine months. Staff have demonstrated their determination, yet our concerns about salary erosion remain completely unresolved. Management have stubbornly refused to enter into any negotiation. Now, the message being passed down from upper management via the team managers is that the decision was already made during the Administrative Council in summer, staff should accept it, and it [22:00] schestowitz[TR2] is time to move on. [22:00] schestowitz[TR2] Our response should be clear: our concerns remain unresolved, staff remain united, and the industrial action continues. The Administrative Council meets again on 1314 October. This is the moment to show the delegations that staff remain united and our industrial action remains active. [22:00] schestowitz[TR2] We therefore call on SUEPO members to join an intensified period of work-to-rule action prior and during the Council meeting. [22:00] schestowitz[TR2] October 5 14. No searches. No final actions." [22:30] *XFaCE_ (~XFaCE@uzfeivw9fp6ba.irc) has joined #techbytes
